Accident Man Dies After Excavator Bucket Tooth Falls on Head in Buriram
Picture courtesy of CH7. A 64-year-old man has died after being struck on the head by a dislodged excavator bucket tooth while observing construction work in Mueang Buriram district. The incident occurred at around 13:00 on 10 August near Lam Huai Samor in Sa Kae Sam subdistrict. Mr. Saneh, a resident of Sa Lang Thon in Prakhon Chai district, had gone to watch a backhoe installing water pipes when the machine operator extended the arm to break obstructing tree branches. A bucket tooth, weighing about four kilograms, reportedly came loose after a locking bolt failed, flew off and struck him on the head. Emergency responders from the Sa Kae Phrong Subdistrict Administrative Organisation rushed him to Buriram Hospital in critical condition and unconscious. Despite the medical team’s efforts, he succumbed to his injuries on 11 August. His wife, Ms. Saengchan, 51, said she found a large indentation in her husband’s skull when touching his bandaged head at the hospital and believed he must have died at the scene. She called on the backhoe’s owner to take responsibility. His elder brother, Mr. Kaew, 68, added that the deceased was a poor farmer renting land for rice cultivation and also worked as a labourer to support his elderly mother-in-law. He stressed that the family wanted justice and compensation. Police Colonel Chamras Siriliang, superintendent of Mueang Buriram Police Station, has ordered investigators to summon the backhoe owner for questioning on suspicion of negligence causing death. Legal proceedings are now under way. Adapted by Asean Now from CH7 2025-08-12 -

Cybercrime officers issued a warning about a new type of cyberattack known as “Choicejacking,” which targets mobile phones via public charging stations.

Crime Cyber Police Warn of Data Theft Risk from Public Charging
Pictures courtesy of Matichon. Cybercrime officers issued a warning about a new type of cyberattack known as “Choicejacking,” which targets mobile phones via public charging stations. This advanced form of attack is an evolution of “Juice Jacking,” where hackers use disguised charging devices to trick phones into approving file transfers instead of just charging. The malicious device mimics a USB input to send commands that automatically grant permission for data transfer within milliseconds, often too fast for the user to notice. Some attacks exploit vulnerabilities in certain Android devices using the Android Open Accessory Protocol (AOAP). Once the hackers gain access, they can steal photos, read messages or install harmful software on the device immediately. Cyber police advise the public to avoid using unknown public charging devices found in airports, hotels, cafes and other public areas. Instead, they recommend carrying a personal power bank, plugging devices directly into a power outlet, enabling “charge only” mode and regularly updating software to protect against such threats. The authorities emphasised vigilance in protecting personal data in an increasingly connected world. Adapted by Asean Now from Matichon 2025-08-12 -

Community Student Performs CPR on Injured Elderly Man After Crash
Picture courtesy of Naewna A school student from Lom Sak Witthayakhom School in Phetchabun province acted swiftly to try to save the life of an elderly man seriously injured in a road crash. The incident occurred on the Ban Non Thong–Jang Wang road in Lan Ba subdistrict, Lom Sak district, when an electric bicycle collided with a six-wheeled truck. The elderly man riding the electric bike was left unconscious and severely injured by the roadside. As rescue teams rushed to the scene, Miss Kanyanat, the student, happened to be passing by on her way to school. Having received basic first aid and CPR training, she immediately began performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on the man. Thanks to her quick and skilled response, she was able to maintain the injured man until medical responders arrived. The man was showing signs of life as the ambulance transported him to Lom Sak Hospital for further treatment. Sadly, despite the emergency care, the elderly man later succumbed to his injuries due to their severity. Witnesses at the scene expressed admiration for Kanyanat’s courage and prompt action. The local police, led by Lt. Sgt. Sangat Kamphaaphan, conducted an on-site investigation to proceed with legal matters related to the crash. Dr. Peerawat Chantakun, principal of Lom Sak Witthayakhom School, praised Kanyanat for her volunteer spirit and use of her life-saving skills. “It is truly commendable when students apply their knowledge in real emergency situations,” he said. The school plans to award her a certificate of recognition and fully support her ambitions to pursue further studies in the medical field. Adapted by Asean Now from Naewna 2025-08-12 -
